Cort Nozzle

[paulejr]

Has anyone ever tried a Cort nozzle on an FE of any size? I have worked them on sea going tugs and harbor tugs (full size) and really helps the handling and puts more emphasis on steering and directing the props output when dealing with tides and currents .. course, never heard of a pond with tides or currents but ya never know on some of these rivers y'all run on. Drag might be a mitigating factor though.

They have a positive effect when used with submerged props on displacement hulls. They will not work on surface drive systems. If they did you can bet full size race boats would have explored this.
